Wondering what the most exciting Blu-ray release of the week is? You don’t need to tie me up with a magic lasso of truth to find out. In fact, please don’t do that.

Sundance Journal: ‘The Little Hours’

Luke Hickman — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 17:00:24 +0000

The second nun-related film I saw at Sundance this year, ‘The Little Hours’ couldn’t possibly be farther on the other end of the spectrum from the other one. The reverence and holiness that fill ‘Novitiate‘ are completely absent in this vulgar comedy about off-kilter and psychotic nuns, a dim priest and an attractive peasant boy...
